Drew Brees: Incredible Quarterback, Amazing Dad

Confession: My husband has a man crush on Drew Brees.  So, you can imagine that I was elevated to “Best Wife Ever” when my family was invited to a local media event featuring none other than the one, the only….Drew Brees!

As native New Orleanians, we both know that this City reveres Brees as the quarterback who finally brought home the Lombardi Trophy!  But through his years here in New Orleans, we have gotten to know Brees as much more than a quarterback.  He has helped this community in numerous ways post Katrina with The Brees Dream Foundation, and for that we are eternally grateful.  New Orleans also got to witness the birth of Drew Brees the Father, as his first son, Baylen was born.  Who can forget the adorable picture of Brees and Baylen on the field after the Superbowl win?

Now, Brees has partnered with Vick’s VapoRub to become the first ever VapoDad!  Drew’s wife, Brittany, introduced Brees at the event and shared with the audience his “hands-on” Dad style which is apparent when watching the interaction between Father and son.  After a few comments, we were treated to a screening of the new Vick’s VapoRub commercial featuring Brees, the first time a Dad has ever appeared in the company’s advertisements.

Not only do we love Drew Brees, but we have been huge fans of Vick’s VapoRub for years.  When I am congested, I love that the aromatic active vapors in Vicks VapoRub are continually released and inhaled for up to eight hours. The combination of vapors in Vicks VapoRub, including menthol, camphor and Eucalyptus Oil, works to reduce a cough by acting on airway sensory nerves.  Did you know that these active ingredients also relieve minor muscle aches and pains in joints and muscles, too?  Brittany Brees admits to rubbing some on Drew’s feet after a big game!

Best. Moment. Ever.

With the flu season in full swing, make sure you stock your medicine cabinet with Vick’s!  And while you’re at it, check out Drew’s new commercial and look for the print ads, too!

Thanks to Vick’s for inviting us to the press event in New Orleans.  I was not compensated for attending the event, however samples were received.  All opinions remain 100% my own.

Saints Sightings at local Boo at the Zoo!

One of our Halloween traditions is taking my daughters to our local Boo at the Zoo for some not-so-spooky fun.  This year, we had a great time trick or treating, riding the carousel, playing games, touring a real ambulance and talking to…….DREW BREES!  My husband has a major man-crush on Drew ever since he became the New Orleans Saints Quarterback, so you can only imagine the smile on his face when he spotted his idol!  Y’all, he was literally giddy.

Drew isn’t only an amazing football player, but has done many great things for the children in the City of New Orleans!  It must have been “Saints get in free” night or something, because we also spotted Billy Miller and Robert Meachem!  After many minutes of discussion, Jennifer actually got up enough nerve to ask Drew for a picture.  He was very nice and agreed to take a picture with her son….he will now be the most popular kid at school! LOL!

Believe it or not, the whole night wasn’t about the Saints!  We actually did let the actual kids do a few fun things as well, but that’s a whole other post!

Geaux Saints!

ETA:  Believe it or not, we also spotted four Saints players (including Drew Brees) in Quiznos today eating lunch before leaving for Miami!  Good Luck, Boys!  We’ll be watching!
